In Deference...

... to my friends

Whom I worship

For some demented reason

I have deleted the previous political post.

I have found (and I should have known)

That I have stirred polarity of the left and right kind

So I will refrain from similar posts

In the interest of preserving those

Who give me comfort

When I am out

On a fragile limb

And need a gentle

Force to sustain

My precarious position

On matters far from my control

To those of you

Who agreed with me

Thanks

But this position

Will not sustain me

For the balance of my life

Like you will
